“As we draw near to The Forever Story, I wanna give insight on the process of trying to put together a solid body work. Initially I wanted to create an album that serves as an origin story and speaks to who I am and what I came from. This song has been in the works for 2 years and was supposed to be the outro on the album. Things didn’t work out but this story is too pertinent to the picture we want to paint. This has been the heaviest project for me to make and I take pride in my vulnerability that came in the midst of creation,” he wrote on his IG recently.
JID’s third studio album, The Forever Story, is his follow-up to his well praised sophomore release from 2018, DiCaprio 2. JID originally revealed this undertaking on August 27, 2019, in a series of tweets that hinted at a release for brand-new songs in October. He said that his desire to release some new songs was due to his being “depressed.”
